Remote or no remote for the Audio Research LS3.


I am thinking of getting a used Audio Research LS3 with remote. I am wondering if this feature is worth having. Does the remote eventually interfere with the sound since there is now an additional mechanism that may affffect the sound quality?

I've seen a lot of LS3 with out remote, is this because of the cost of having the optional remote?

given the option, would you rather have a remote in your pre amp or not?

Thanks

Do you want to get rid of your automatic transmission in your car and go back to shifting gears? I don't think so! Having a remote operated unit is joy and a convenience worth having. Without a remote, you turn the volume up, sit down and realize that it's too loud and have to get up again to lower volume. The phone rings and you have to get up again to turn down. Once in a while it feels good just to turn the whole damn thing off and take a break.
